I...hate...Nvidia
jsalemi:
Not that it helps your particular problem, but I used to have a nvidia 6600, and I had the same problems, plus the 'blue screen to crash" -- I got tired of constantly having to try different drivers to fix it, and ended up dumping the nvidia and replacing it with an ATI (X700 Pro), and haven't had a problem since.
Giggy:
I would love to dump it and smash it to bits and replace it with an ATI but the problem is that I have no money for a new card so basicly I'm stuck with what I've got.
Paperbladder:
I must be really lucky or something, I've had 3 Nvidia cards and I haven't had anything go weird on them or problems with driver updates that a lot of people get. I've got a really old TNT2 which just doesn't cut it for games today (32MB, no T&L), a Geforce 4 MX 440 (64MB) which was integrated, and a Geforce 6100 (256MB) made by eVGA that replaced that integrated card. Sure, the 6100 isn't very powerful but it works for Sims 2 and some other games that I play when I decide to use the thing.
I remember seeing screenshots like that quite a bit ago on MATY, but I forgot what the solution was. I think it might have been a cooling problem or something.
Giggy:
:) mm maybe, its just so darn hot all the time
DrBeast:
Do you get these glitches as soon as you start the game or after a while? If you're getting garbled graphics some time after you've started the game, it's probably your graphics card overheating. Get an overclocking utility, such as Riva Tuner, and lower the core and memory frequencies a bit (say 10-20 MHz, or a bit more). If the glitches persist, you might even have a defect graphics card sitting in your system. If they go away, consider adding a fan to your graphics card (even if it has one, they sometimes don't deliver) and a couple of intake and outtake fans in your computer case (i.e. one intake fan at the front below the hard disks, and one outtake at the back, under your power supply unit). Intel processors+nVidia graphics cards=mini-barbeques, as I've stated in more than one occasions before!
